Based on ESRI technology, CatNet® functions and data facilitate a professional overview and assessment of natural hazard exposure for any location worldwide. It allows inclusion of user data in smart maps and thus an analysis of the risk of natural hazards tailor-made for the user's insurance portfolio. Loss information of past events adds additional value to the available risk information. In 2013 hotspot high risk urban area information will be added to identify potential future areas of risk. This will make CatNet® an even more valuable tool in preparing local, regional and cross-regional risk profiles.
CatNet is provided to our clients to raise their risk awareness, support the underwriting of insurance contracts and enhance the exposure data quality.
